Hi every1, i've just encountered a bug today that made me lose my entire blood dragon set! here's what happened..
I've got the blood dragon set, and also the helmet of honeloth (the one that gives +2 stats, that comes with the stone golem DLC), ok... so i decided to equip the blood dragon set on Alistair to make him more tanky, but it turns out that his strength was at 36, which is 2 less than the required for the blood dragon set, so here what i did... i equip the helm of honeloth on Alistair first, to boost his strength to 38, then I equip all the blood dragon item on 1 by 1, while leaving the blood dragon helm for last. and there you go, i managed to equip the entire set on Alistair !

But the problem is, when i load the game again the next time i play... Alistair was in his undies.... and i checked my inventory and the set is no where to be found.

Can someone please help me solve this bug, or atleast help me get the set back?

Best regards, and thanks in advance.

John

I think I can see your problem - sounds like you've spannered the attribute logic.

Check that you don't have the disappearing DLC bug, which can also cause the armor to disappear. Exit the game completely (to desktop), restart, verify that all the DLC is authorized, and load the save again and see if the Blood Dragon Armor comes back.



If all your other DLC appears to be fine, you can just use the Force Load method to try and get the blood dragon armor back. It will reset things so you have to buy all the pieces again. Exit to the Main Menu, go to Downloadable Content->Installed Content. Clear the check mark next to Blood Dragon Armor to disable it. Go back to the Main Menu and load your last save. When it prompts you, Force Load it. Immediately make a new save (don't save over anything just to be safe). Exit back to the main menu, go to Installed Content again and reenable the Armor. Then load that new save you made and it should be treated as if you'd just installed it. Chestpiece in your inventory, all other items for sale.

I've followed this advice and it's just not worked. I loaded some previous saves to see where I had the armour, sure enough it's where the storyline stripped my dwarf warrior of his armour that it went AWOL. I'd continued quite a way without realising it had gone. I've saved at camp on the first time my character has been there, the save prior to disabling content etc has the items for sale but the one save after enabling the content isn't even showing the rest of the armour for sale.

Is there a dev console way to give me my content back at all?

Which Patch do you have installed? And when did you install it?



The dwarf noble being stripped of his DLC equipment, including the Blood Dragon Armor, was fixed in Patch 1.02. But its not retroactive, you have to replay the section again.



Patch 1.03 broke the force load method of getting the Blood Dragon Armor back, unfortunately. Its strips everything when you force load, but reenabling it no longer gives it back. You'll likely want to at least back up to before you attempted that.



I know of no way to get the dev console to spawn items unfortunately.

Ah ok, I'm up to date on patches so that explains it. Sadly I went through some PC problems around New Year and had backed up saves stored on another PC while this one was being repaired so I can't be sure of when I patched previously. I've only just started playing again this week after upgrading components etc. It seems that on this profile at least the chestpiece will be forever lost if I continue, I don't really want to restart this character so I'll just bite the bullet. It's a shame about the oversight, I'd hope'd there'd be some way to obtain the chestpiece again without going all the way back to the first hour of play. This has quite annoyed me. Reverting to the second most recent save does at least mean I have the rest of the items available to buy.



Thanks for the advice though.

Dragon blood armor says it is unauthorized. How do I get it authorized ?

This is the second time my Blood Dragon Armor has gone missing from my character's bags. This time however I don't have enough save points to go back to a point that I have the armor. I'm running the latest patch so I don't think I can use the force load option. Is there anything I can do? Aside from start from scratch?

Same problem. Damn it!
I downloaded the Blood Dragon Armor and Stone Prisoner DLC some time ago but then I didn't have enough strength to equip the BDA. I remember it was continuously reminding me I had to spend points on my Strength and now that I'm strong enough It just dissapeared. I remember that some time ago a message saying that an authorized profile must be logged in to use de DLC content appeared so I had to press Resume like six times before the game loaded. That doesnt make any sense cause I never used another account. I'm just tired of this POS and the force load doesn't work for me either.

To solve, this issue you must first enable console in DAO (see http://dragonage.wik...om/wiki/Console) then install the following mods:

- Make CONSOLE commands visible (this mod will allow you to see what you type in the console)
- AddItem Script

Then launch DAO and load your save.

Open the console by pressing the appropriate key (~ by default) then type the following command:

 - to get back only a missing plate chest:
   runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_plate.uti 1

- to get back the complete armor set::
   runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_boots.uti 1
   runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_glove.uti 1
   runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_helm.uti 1
   runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_plate.uti 1

Another note concerning this issue:
I pretty sure that this issue is related to loading a save game with the Blood Armor DLC not authorized. This can happen when loading a game immediately after launching DA:O. To prevent this issue, I suggest to follow these steps before loading a save game after DA:O launch:
 1. from main menu, check that you are logged in then select Downloadable Content
 2. if you see your DLCs on a green background, continue to step 7
 3. wait for Point Balance to be updated
 4. close panel
 5. click again Downloadable Content
 6. this time you should see your installed DLC on a green background and the Points Balance in update mode again
 7. wait for Points Balance to be updated
 8. close panel and load your saved game.
You only have to proceed this way on your first load after DA:O launch. Once this is done, you can directaly load games during the same session.

When entering the runscript additem prm000im_dragon_blood_plate.uti 1 line

Well, the font that its supposed to make the commands visible didn't work either and the steps to install the AddItem Script are rather short and not all that explanatory

For Make Console command visible, create a folder with an appropriate name (like "Visible Console Text") under My Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override and unzip fonts.erf in this folder.

For AddItem Script, create a folder with an appropriate name (like "AddItem Script - Console") under My Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override and unzip additem.ncs in this folder.

I had Dragon Armour in my inventory long after doing the origins quest - I believe I had it before clearing Soldiers Peak. However now I've actually got 38 strength it's gone from my inventory. I backtracked through all the merchants I had visited thinking it was me being stupid however it's gone completely.



I'm running the latest version available to the Mac version and all my saves were with the latest version. I've tried the force load method (disabling/re-enabling the DLC) without success.



Can the console fix be used on the Mac ?

You should post your request on DA:O Mac Technical Support. This forum is DA:O PC Technical Support

Point taken although it does feel like a bit of a grey area. As there is no Mac version as such (it's just the PC game in a wrapper) a lot of questions I have to look up the answers on the PC side as it's the same code .. so I lose track of where I'm posting.

For example I found on the Mac forum some notes with an almost identical subject header that might allow me to get the console up - however for what I'm supposed to enter I can only find here on the PC :)

I'll try and pay more attention moving forward if a query is Mac only.

What should it say if the console instruction is correct ? I've used your instructions and installed the console text and add item and have a visible console that works (tested by bowlingforferelden) but when I type "runscript additem prm000im_blood_dragon_plate.uti 1" it just says "Success" without the plate appearing in my inventory.

the correct syntax is: ..._dragon_blood_..., not ..._blood_dragon_...

The DLC is installed and showing as enabled. Also I've checked with the dwarven merchants and the other Blood Armour pieces are still available to buy so it seems to be working in all respects except I've lost the plate. It's a bit perplexing :)

Edit: Opps - you're right .. My error. Thanks for your help!

I've try this solution but it doesn't work for me,and I've make sure I can spell it right because I've jotted it down on my paper.....I absolutely sure that I haven't sell it because I keep it with me every time.

Maybe I can't do anything about this DLC :(

ps.My DA:O Version is 1.05 beta.
